(We corrected their title “Regulations from the Executive in Need of Scrutiny” Act) – The REINS Act is an underhanded attempt to hobble the regulatory agencies that keep us safe. It will put workers in danger, loosen pollution safeguards, relax consumer protections and destroy job opportunities in the clean energy economy. We issued a NO on REINS action two months ago for the House, but are repeating it because we suspect it will come up for a Senate vote soon.

Script: I am calling to ask you to vote NO on the REINS Act, S. 21. It would delay or shut down critical new health and safety protections, obstruct laws that Congress has already mandated and oversight of the public’s health and safety in favor of polluter profits.
